Stop & Shop considering downtown spot

Stop & Shop has been approached by Winthrop Nantucket, the owner of the former Grand Union grocery store space on Salem Street, to discuss potential options for the downtown property.

Over the past week, Stop & Shop gave several indications that it was seriously considering a bid to take over the space and open its second island supermarket.

A group of executives from Stop & Shop traveled to Nantucket Tuesday and were spotted at the Planning & Land Use Services building off Old South Road where they met with town officials about the possibility of opening a new store at the Salem Street property. Last Friday, many island residents received an e-mail survey that sought to gauge their reaction to the prospect of a downtown Stop & Shop.
